Awed by Monica: Get Fabulous for the Holidays with these Fab Style Inspirations!
The holidays are here lovelies. With this festive time comes tons and tons of holiday parties. With events lined up from casual to formal, everyone needs a little help navigating what to wear and how to dress appropriate to every occasion.
Take this as your guide as to what to wear for this stylish holiday season!
Office/Work Holiday Parties
The office environment can sometimes be strict when dictating your overall appearance. For work parties however you can step outside of your office dress code but be sure not to overstep. Make a conservative style statement.
A long skirt in damask is beautiful, festive and makes a total style statement
Soraya from Style is my Thing looks stylish and classy and ready for any work to party event
Blair from Atlantic Pacific creates this timeless look in lavender, black and white
I love tulle! I know tulle can be a little much for work, however a printed tulle skirt is not as invasive and makes a perfect holiday look
Cynthia from Simply Cyn (Addicted to Etsy) spiced up her look with a fun pair of shoes. A great way to make a style statement this season
Formal Wear
If you love fashion and style, you live for events that you can throw on a beautiful gown. Have fun this holiday season and shine wearing gowns in bright colors or dark hues. But whichever you choose make sure your shine in your black-tie glam!
How stunning is Eku Edewor in this long red number
Folake from Style Pantry literally glows in this yellow gown. Yellow against brown skin is perfect!
Be a little risky in a see-through dress like Blair from Atlantic Pacific
This look on Lupita Nyong’o speaks for its self #flawless
Natasha from Bisousnatasha.com looks sexy and festive in yellow and ruffles
Semi-Formal Event
A semi-formal event is a step down from the black-tie event. For semi-formal events I recommend cocktail dresses, jumpsuits, and even dressy skirts!
Dodos Uvieghara from Iamdodos is a breath of fresh air in this vibrant blue high-low hem dress
You can never go wrong with sequin flowers
We all love a LBD (little black dress) If you decide to wear one this season, do what I did and opt for one with details that standout, like this dress featuring an organza hem
Agatha from ironyofashi is stylish and holiday ready in this red dress and Ankara clutch
Ranti from Rantiinreview is trend appropriate in this black and white look featuring the very festive tulle skirt
Cocktail Party
The holiday would not be complete without one or two cocktails parties! Here are some looks that are sure to get you noticed at your holiday cocktail party!
Toke Makinwa is red capret redy in this cocktail dress #loveit
What would the holidays be without sequins, this head-to-toe sequins look is a perfect alternative to the cocktail sequin dress
Feathers, sequins and pink, the perfect combination for a party, and we love it on Nifesimi from Skinnyhipster
Feathers, sequins and pink – the perfect combination for a party, and we love it on Nifesimi from Skinnyhipster.
I don’t usually show this much skin, but for the holidays I tend to make the exception. Be the life of the party in a sequin cocktail dress
